[DRE-maint] Bug#995346: ruby-chef-utils: depends on the Internet during build

Version: 16.12.3-2
Severity: important

Hi Pirate,

The ruby-chef-utils package does not build from source on Ubuntu builders
because it tries to access the Internet during build, and fails when it
cannot reach a remote host:

[...]
Failures:

  1) ChefUtils::DSL::PlatformFamily on centos8 reports false for rhel6?
     Failure/Error: let(:node) { Fauxhai.mock(options).data }

     SocketError:
       Failed to open TCP connection to raw.githubusercontent.com:443 (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known)
     # /usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/fauxhai-7.4.0/lib/fauxhai/mocker.rb:50:in `block in data'
     # /usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/fauxhai-7.4.0/lib/fauxhai/mocker.rb:72:in `data'
     # ./spec/unit/dsl/platform_family_spec.rb:36:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
     # ./spec/unit/dsl/platform_family_spec.rb:30:in `block (2 levels) in pf_reports_true_for'
     # ------------------
     # --- Caused by: ---

  (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby-chef-utils/16.12.3-2/+build/21689349)

This failure is reproducible by pointing raw.githubusercontent.com in
/etc/hosts to a host that returns connection refused on port 443.

The problem seems to be that the tests require ruby-fauxhai to report on
platforms for which it has no local data, causing it to fall back to the
website.  I'm not sure if this is properly a fauxhai or a ruby-chef-utils
bug, but it makes the package unbuildable in Ubuntu, or on Debian systems
without a network.
